- transcriptase 3y agoOi you got a loicence for that opinion?
- melevittfl 3y agoYeah, but we can freely buy and eat chocolate Kinder eggs.
- flir 3y ago"Don't put small inedible things inside edible things" doesn't sound like a bad rule to me, to be honest.
- firebat45 3y agoOTOH, how many children got Kinder Eggs ~without~ knowing that there was a small plastic toy inside? That was kind of the whole gimmick. Also, there have been 9 reported deaths worldwide that have been linked to choking on the toy inside a Kinder Egg. 7 Children in the US die ~every day~ from being shot. It seems pretty clear to me which one is a bigger issue.

- stavros 3y agoThis comment is basically "I see UK, I downvote". Zero relevance to the point that was being made, just wanted to say "US > UK".
- mistercheph 3y agoGP comment was basically just, "The UK would do it." Zero relevance to the point being made besides "what UK does = good idea". So I responded in kind by registering my opinion that "what UK does = bad idea".
